Senior Solutions Architect (Consultant, Infosys)

Molina Healthcare | February 2019 – February 2020

Role Summary

Healthcare cloud architecture engagement focused on Azure Landing Zones, hybrid migration, infrastructure automation, and mission-critical SQL modernization. This role is strongest for evaluating petabyte-scale regulated migration work, repeatable cloud patterns, Terraform integration, HIPAA-aligned controls, and coordinated delivery across large blended teams.

• Architected and led the Azure Landing Zone and hybrid-cloud migration program for a healthcare environment of approximately 16,000 production servers (≈40,000 total environments including non-production), more than 630 business applications, and a data footprint exceeding 2 petabytes; completed migration of roughly one-quarter of the footprint within the year.
• Reframed a stalled healthcare cloud-migration program into an executable Azure delivery model by unifying executive leadership, application owners, project managers, engineering teams, Microsoft, and ServiceNow support around a common migration plan, reducing program ambiguity and restoring delivery momentum.
• Selected the organization’s single most business-critical application—an SQL Always On cluster protecting 450 TB of data with 2.7 TB of daily transactions and one of the most complex SDLC cycles (up to 12–15 environments)—as the first major workload to move; designed and executed the full migration in four to five months, establishing a fully repeatable pattern that reduced subsequent application migrations from months to days or weeks.
• Authored the majority of the Infrastructure-as-Code and orchestration frameworks that provisioned and governed all Landing Zone resources (networking, Virtual WAN, storage, gateways, firewalls, and Zero Trust network security) as well as the ongoing deployment and maintenance of the critical SQL Always On workload; integrated the frameworks into the organization’s existing Terraform processes so that operational teams experienced zero change to day-to-day maintenance and management, while end-to-end automated cutovers (including a perfectly clean production SQL Always On migration) required only human monitoring.
• Treated security and compliance as first-class requirements from the outset, embedding HIPAA controls, comprehensive audit trails, and ready integration points for existing SIEM/SOAR tooling; the design received full CISO and security-team approval and satisfied 100 percent of the security organization’s stated requirements.
• Integrated CyberArk privileged-access governance with Entra ID, Azure RBAC, and landing-zone operating patterns, helping a regulated healthcare migration keep privileged access, least privilege, auditability, and operational execution aligned instead of treating PAM as a separate security checkpoint.
• Led a combined delivery team of approximately twelve onshore and two dozen offshore Infosys consultants plus a core group of fifteen permanent Molina stakeholders, coordinating Infrastructure-as-Code work with application refactoring (including a significant SQL version upgrade) performed by team developers to make the critical workload cloud-native; the coordinated effort delivered a successful, clean migration of the organization’s most complex and business-critical application while maintaining influence across the full server, data-center, and application footprint.
• Developed Secure Healthcare Cloud Program patterns from the engagement’s lessons, turning migration, governance, automation, security, and communication practices into reusable material for future healthcare organizations seeking equal-or-better security in public or hybrid cloud.
• Wrote a proprietary PowerShell module for virtual-machine migration orchestration, reducing repetitive migration work and giving teams a more consistent control plane for lift-and-shift execution.
• Extended migration orchestration and Infrastructure-as-Code patterns with Azure access-control guardrails, using PowerShell, Terraform-integrated workflows, and human-monitored cutovers to reduce repetitive migration effort while preserving reviewable control over high-impact changes.
• Standardized service-oriented architecture guidance for network, security, server, compute, database, reporting, IAM, and content-distribution services, helping application teams use common patterns during and after migration.
• Implemented standardized project and service-management tools, processes, procedures, and communication plans, improving leadership visibility and reducing ambiguity across a large blended delivery organization.
• Administered Azure tenants, subscriptions, RBAC, and core shared services while approving migration and management plans, connecting architecture governance to operational execution instead of leaving standards unenforced.
• Governed Azure tenants, subscriptions, RBAC, and privileged-access controls across the migration program, connecting architecture standards to enforceable operating procedures for application, infrastructure, and security teams working inside a HIPAA-aligned environment.
• Kept IAM, RBAC, audit trails, and SIEM/SOAR integration points inside the landing-zone design instead of treating them as separate security signoffs, helping the CISO and migration teams approve repeatable patterns for a HIPAA-aligned healthcare environment.
